Senator Voorhees, PrOtege.
Tribune Washington Special.

One of the characters in the depart
ments here is Mr.. Faulkner, of Indiana,
IL protege of Senator Voorhees,, who is
chiefly famous for his inability to spell
correctly. When he applied for his
place Secretary Damar looked over his
papers and exclaimed:
"VOOrhees, this man can't spell the
simplest words he isn't fit for a place. "
"If you are going to draw the line
on spelling" replied the senator from
Indiana, "yOu will disbar nine tenths
of the democrats in the country from
holding office. Faulkner is competent
to fill the place he wants, and you will
find it out if you will give him trial"
He was given il trial and has proved
us good as Voorhees, words. Commits
siOner Black says he is the best chief
of division in the Pension Office
Faulkner is a simple minded man,
good natured, and his oddities cause a
good deal of amusement among his
subOrdinates and associates. Last
Christmas he opened his heart and
gave every one of the men and women
in his division, gray headed old vete-
rams, the widows of dead soldiers and
others, tifty-fOur in number, each a red
apple and IL bag of candy. Yesterday
he called his clerks together before
they left the department and told them
that he proposed to celebrate Thanks
giving evening by giving them a par
ty. He said he had made arrange
ment with the keeper of his boarding
house, under which she consented to
let him give Il party in her parlors and
he wanted them all to come and have
good time. There would not be
much to eat, he remarked, but he had
contracted with the landlady to set out
a small lunch, for which he was to pay
ten cents a head for all who attended,
but it would not include much except
cheese and beer. He wanted them to
know just what they were going to get
SO that they might not be disappOint-
ed when they got there, and in order
that he might not have to pay for more
than was necessary, he wanted to
know how many would come. The
clerks all accepted the invitation
heartily and the "SOlon Single" of
the pension Office went home happy.

Animal Intelligence.
d. Winthrop in North American Reuss.O.


A good story is told of late distin-
guished gentleman, who, though emil
nent as a statesman and constitutional
lawyer, prided himself especially upon
his scientific attainments and the local
celebrity he had won as a naturalist.
He was firm believer in the possess
sion of reason by most of the four-foot-
ed creation, and he considered their
lntuitions and instincts keener and less
liable to error than those of man. Be-
ing on a certain occasion, invited to
deliver an address before scientific
association, he chose for his subject
"Animal Intelligence" and in the
course of his remarks adduced the in
stance of a cat of remarkable sagacity
which had quartered herself upon his
family. She was an unbidden guest,
and an un Welcome one, for she was
continually under foot, in all parts of
the house, but particularly upon the
front doorstep. No visitor ever rang
the entrance bell but puss was there to
greet him and the door mat was her
favOrite couch at all hours of the day
and night. At last she became so in
tOlerable nuisance that the statesman
determined to be rid of her but not
desiring to have her blood upon his
hands, he hit upon the expedient of
taking her with him on his next visit
to New York city, and there leaving
her on some crowded thOroughfare.
The distance was forty miles, and the
cat not having, as he supposed, the
keen scent of the dog, she would never
find her way back to again decorate
his door mat. He acted on this resOlu-
ton, but, wonderful to relate, when he
mounted his front door step on his re-
turn ut night the obnoxious puss was
there to greet him. He recOunted the
incident in his address, and enumerat-
ing the number of creeks and rivers
the cat had been obliged to swim, he
called special attention to it as ii strik
ing instance of the remarkable intelli
gence, sagacity, and local attachment
of her species. There was a decided
smoker in some parts of the audience
when he told this story, the occasion
of which was as follows: Two young
men, living in the neighbOrhOod, had
gone to the city upon the train with
the statesman, and observing that he
had the cat in the basket, and suspect
ing his intentions, they irreverently
decided to play upon him a practical
joke. Following him from the railway
station, they noticed that he turned
down Fourth avenue, and there, in an
alleyway, opened his basket and gave
the cat her freedom. He was no soon
er out of sight than they caught the
not unwilling creature, and putting
her into another basket took her home
by an early train and deposited her in
her accustomed place on the states
mans door mat. The incident came
near to running that gentleman's repu-
tatiOn as il naturalist.

before Harvard students recently, on a
man of 90 years, whose existence had
been torture because of neuralgia in
the face. Finally he concluded that
death was preferable to such painful
life, and apparently expected it at the
hospital. To remove the diseased
nerves from the face is in any event a
perilOus undertaking. A description
of this triumph of surgery would be
likely to give the reader sympathetic
pains in the cheek. 1t was intricate
and delicate work. Several nerves
were laid bare, and the physician by a
slight effort pulled them out, and now
the patient is in a good condition and
will not be likely to suffer acutely
again, although he will not have full
control of his face.
